There is a call of our spirit that echoes in the chambers of our heart.  It is a subtle vibration that we barely notice unless we are tuned in closely.  It is the element of our creation that keeps us uniquely linked to Our Creator.  It is the wave of energy that within us longs to be connected to the Great All That Is.  We attempt to fill the longing with things outside of ourselves, ideas, practices, feelings, and even prayers.  But sometimes the only thing that will satisfy this longing is to just BE in the presences of Our Creator.  Be without any fixed idea of how God will show up.  Be without any list of things that we need to do in order to be worthy.  Be without any set words or expression to show our desire to connect.  A breath in and out in the stillness of our being.  An opening of our eyes to the beauty of being alive.  We get glimpses and flashes of it when we are fully present in the moment.  We feel it when we witness the expression of creation in form like a blooming flower, the sound of genuine laughter, an exquisite performance on the sports field or in the music hall, or a tear of release running down our cheek.  Whatever it is, it does not seem to stay.  Our hearts and spirits are moved and we long for more.  It is these delicate realities of gifts of being alive that I feel privileged to be present to when I choose to just BE.  The only thing I can attribute this awareness to is my willingness to show up on our daily date, no matter what, each morning.  It is the very longing to deeply connect that keeps me coming back and being willing to BE.

My prayer for us is the courage to notice the times and experiences that play the strings of our heart at its frequency of joy and hush our sense of longing for a moment today.

If you knew that God would show you the way to experience the present moment that quiets your internal longing, how would you ask God to show you this gift today? Share in the comments.
